A Step in the Right Direction, Maybe

Fox News didn't renew the contract of E.D. Hill, the anchor who referred to the Obamas' fist-pound as a "terrorist fist jab." If you forgot that moment, here you go: 

I would have let her go as soon as she introduced herself as "E.D." Pick a word. I don't do initials, unless they're common, like TJ, or KT, or JJ. She's on TV and she can't pick a word to go by? Then get her off TV.  I can confidently say that I would never hang out with someone who tells me to call them by their odd combination of initials. This goes for you, E.B. White, J.E.B. Stewart (most-awkward name ever?), E.E. Cummings, and M.C. Esher (Jewish rapper?). If your initials aren't T.J., K.T, or J.J., pick one of your names and go with it.

Exception Note: My paternal grandfather went by B.M. I'm not making that up. Bowel Movement. His name was Bernice Malcom Conner, but he went by B.M. But I called him "Grandpa," which made it okay. Plus, if the initials are funny, they're acceptable too.
